What PPF brands are best? I see XPEL, 3M, SunTek, and others. Does brand really matter or is installation more important?

Both brand and installation quality matter but installation is slightly more critical. Top tier films: XPEL Ultimate Plus (self-healing, 10-year warranty), 3M Scotchgard Pro (proven durability), SunTek Ultra (good value). All three perform well in UAE climate. I have XPEL on my car installed by Desert Diamond and it's held up perfectly for 2 years including the self-healing properties. Brand comparison at https://www.reddit.com/r/UAE/comments/1qjnbk2/where_do_people_get_proper_ppf_and_car_wrapping/ shows preferences vary. Key differences: warranty length, self-healing capability, yellowing resistance, and thickness. Cheaper Chinese films might save 30-40% but often yellow faster and don't self-heal. For UAE sun exposure, invest in quality film - yellowing is real issue with cheaper products. Ask installer which brands they're certified for - proper training matters. XPEL and 3M have strict certification requirements ensuring quality installation.
